29. Wendy's true identity!

"cheers!"

The Dvalin rescue team, who had returned from Starfall Cliff, were holding a celebration banquet as a gift from the angels. Although most of them hadn't contributed much, they had witnessed the whole process. After being healed by Venti, Dvalin recovered a bit and regained his status as a member of the Anemo Familiar. He then apologized to everyone, flew back to Mondstadt with them, and left alone. So, Diluc generously offered to treat everyone to a meal.

After raising their glasses in a toast, the group, who were already somewhat acquainted, began to chat.

"I never expected that the dragon scourge of Mondstadt would be resolved in this way. It's truly unexpected."

"That's right, thank you very much, Mr. Li Yue, for helping Mondstadt get rid of the dragon scourge."

"Of course, thank you very much, Mr. Wendy and the Traveler. Without your help, we probably would not have been able to find Dvalin at all."

Commander Qin held a wine glass in her left hand and placed her right hand on her chest to express her gratitude to the three people who had contributed to this operation.

Li Yue, holding the juice, graciously accepted Qin's thanks.

"I'll accept your thanks. It's rare for me to come to Mondstadt, and I've encountered some interesting things. It's been quite good for me, and I've also had a great combat experience."

Although Dvalin's combat power has decreased significantly due to his madness and the loss of the power of the Anemo Familiar, his combat power is still very high. With Venti as a backup, he is the perfect candidate to test his strength.

Among the weekly bosses, Dvalin is the weakest, but that's Dvalin in a weakened state. No one knows how strong Dvalin in his full form is, but he should be the strongest fighter below Mondstadt's Anemo Archon. Li Yue, who can only use Shikai now, probably can't beat him, since that's a Demon God-level fighter. Li Yue hasn't fully mastered Kido yet, and his Zanpakuto is only at the most basic level. Even though he has the spiritual pressure of Kensei Rokusha, his fighting power hasn't fully developed yet.

"Hehe, this time I really owe it to Li Yue and the Traveler. Without the Traveler's purification ability, I wouldn't have been able to summon Dvalin with the Sky Harp. To be honest, I originally thought the battle that followed would be incredibly difficult, after all, it was Dvalin. I didn't expect Li Yue to defeat Dvalin all by herself. Is this the power of the Liyue Hermit? It's really too powerful."

Wendy was also loudly praising and exaggerating.

Li Yue smiled and raised an eyebrow at Wendy, not explaining that she wasn't an immortal, which was considered an acceptance of his praise, while Ying shook her head.

“I didn’t do anything. If Wendy hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t even have known I had the ability to purify.”

This time, Ying finally spoke on her own, not the mouth of God beside her.

"But this is very important, isn't it? If it weren't for Ying's help in purifying it, the Sky Harp wouldn't even be usable, and naturally we wouldn't have been able to accurately locate Dvalin's hiding place."

Wendy shrugged.

"So just accept this praise from the best bard in Teyvat."

"That's right, that's right, Ying, just accept it."

While eating his food, God's Mouth started a conversation for Ying.

"In that case, I accept it."

After watching the interaction between Li Yue, Wendy, and Ying, Master Lu turned his gaze to Wendy.

"The resolution of the Stormterror issue is a good thing for Mondstadt, but there's one thing I'm curious about."

The fire-elemental youth glared at Wendy with a sullen, cat-like face.

"Bard, what is your true identity?"

"Knowing the events of ancient times, knowing the true identity of Stormterror, and even knowing that the Sky Harp can summon Dvalin, and that Dvalin obviously knows you as well, you are probably not just a simple bard."

Everyone looked at Wendy after Mr. Lu said that.

“That’s right. When the traveler and I met you in the forest, we saw you with Dvalin. To be able to be so close to Dvalin, you must not be an ordinary bard.”

The Mouth of God also realized what was happening, pointing at Wendy and then putting his hands on his hips.

"Tell me, who are you?"

"It seems there's no way to hide it anymore."

Wendy wore a helpless expression.

"Since you've all figured it out, I'll just tell you directly."

With her hands on her hips and chin raised, Wendy looked smug.

"My devout followers, I am your wind god Barbatos!"

Everyone present stared at Wendy in disbelief, even Narcida was taken aback.

Didn't Barbatos say he was going to hide his identity? Why isn't he hiding it now? Is there some deeper meaning behind this?

Under Nasita's questioning gaze, Wendy spread her hands.

"Well, were you all surprised by my true identity?!"

Snapped--

A hand slapped the back of his head, knocking his hat off.

"Ouch, what are you doing~~"

Wendy rubbed the back of her head and complained to Li Yue.

"Stop joking. If you're Barbatos, then I'm still the Rock King Emperor."

Li Yue deliberately looked at Wendy with a disdainful expression.

"what?"

Wendy looked at Li Yue with some surprise, only to be met with Li Yue pointing a finger to the sky.

"No one understands the Wind God better than me!"

"How could the wind god who brought freedom to Mondstadt be like you, a drunkard who clings to a wine bottle from morning till night? Aren't you afraid of being killed by the Church of Favonius if you tell anyone?"

"Hehehe, just kidding, just kidding."

Wendy wasn't annoyed. She went along with Li Yue's words and gave up her true identity, since she was happy to hide it anyway.

The crowd recovered from their shock.

Right, although I haven't seen Fengshen for a long time, I can't believe he's the kind of guy who goes around busking and then has no money for drinks, so he shamelessly tries to get drinks from everyone he meets!

Although everyone hasn't spent much time with Venti, they all know what he's been doing since he appeared in Mondstadt: busking everywhere for money, then buying drinks from angels' gifts. As long as he has money, he basically hangs out in taverns. If this guy were the Anemo Archon, the Church of Favonius would be in an uproar.

"By the way, I know who this guy is."

"You know Mr. Li Yue?"

Qin looked at Li Yue curiously. This immortal, who seemed to be from Liyue, should be very knowledgeable and know more than she did.

"Oh?"

Wendy was also very curious.

After denying Wendy's identity as the Wind God, Li Yue began to fabricate an identity for Wendy.

"Being able to communicate with and know Dvalin basically confirms that although he is not the god of wind, he is definitely related to the god of wind. When it comes to being related to the god of wind, everyone will immediately think of the four wind guardians: the wolf of the north wind, the lion of the south wind, the eagle of the west wind, and the dragon of the east wind. He is obviously not any of the four wind guardians, but that does not mean that he is unrelated to the god of wind."

"Because when many people mention the Wind God, they subconsciously overlook a being who is extremely closely connected with the Wind God."

"That's the wind spirit!"

"A wind spirit!?"

After a brief moment of surprise, the troupe leader's eyes lit up.

"Oh right, I completely forgot about the wind spirits."

Legend has it that before becoming the god of wind, Barbatos was a small wind spirit. Even after Barbatos became the god of wind, the wind spirit race still existed, though it rarely appeared. As a former wind spirit, it's normal for Barbatos to have other wind spirits following him, isn't it?

“That’s right. You’re connected to the Wind God, know the East Wind Dragon, are aware of the past between the East Wind Dragon and the Wind God, and also wield the power of wind. Your true identity is crystal clear!”

Li Yue flicked her index finger, striking a pose reminiscent of Jotaro, and pointed at Wendy with a single finger.

"There's only one truth! You are a wind spirit who has followed the Wind God since ancient times!"

30. The script for Death is about to begin.

Thanks to Li Yue's strong endorsement, Wendy's true identity was confirmed as a wind spirit, and Wendy readily admitted it!

Ah yes, yes, that's it! I am indeed the Wind Sprite! I can't wait!

Thus, the identity of Venti, the wind spirit, was officially recognized by the Knights of Favonius, and it was a publicly recognized identity, much better than the previous identity of the bard.

After the Stormterror crisis was resolved, Li Yue did not immediately return to Liyue, but continued to stay in Mondstadt. This was because returning to Liyue was now just a matter of time. He could use Yamato to open a portal to any place he had been, with the amount of spiritual energy consumed calculated according to the distance. Therefore, Li Yue could return whenever he wanted.

Li Yue stayed in Mondstadt for two reasons: first, to let Narcida play around with Wendy in Mondstadt and ruin her learning; and second, to spar with Dvalin. He wasn't just talking about sparring with Dvalin. Although he had many memories of fighting Shinigami in his mind, only real combat sparring could allow Li Yue to truly and quickly master the power of Shinigami.

However, Dvalin was slashed three times by Li Yue with Yamato, and it will take some time for him to fully recover. During this time, Li Yue can play around in Mondstadt for a while.

Therefore, Li Yue asked Wendy, the [Wind Spirit], for a Wind Elemental Orb with the aim of studying the wind element.

Unlike rock, wind element cannot be directly condensed into creations. Although there are things like the Anemo Hypostasis, the Gale Core, and wind slimes, the problem is that they are special elemental life forms. When they die, they simply dissipate, and when they are alive, they cannot be sent over.

Therefore, what Venti gave Li Yue was a wind elemental orb. Venti condensed the wind element into an elemental orb and then gave it to Li Yue, who then passed it on to Aizen through the chat group.

Also sent was a grass element polymer made by Nasita. Li Yue [unexpectedly] discovered that Nasita could actually use grass elements, so after praising her as worthy of being her daughter, she asked Nasita for a grass element ball.

During his trip to Mondstadt, Li Yue managed to gather both grass and wind elemental materials for Aizen. This made Li Yue wonder if he should try using his Shikai to randomly open portals more often, perhaps even directly to Inazuma Castle and encountering Raiden.

Unfortunately, it's impossible for General Thunder to give himself a lightning element polymer. Moreover, according to General Thunder's current setting, someone like me who doesn't have the Eye of God but uses special powers will probably be encased in a statue.

Li Yue felt that he was currently unable to fight against Raiden General, after all, Raiden General was a Demon God level, but Li Yue did not care. With the growth of his spiritual pressure, the Bankai of his Zanpakuto, and the other technologies from Aizen, it was only a matter of time before Li Yue reached the Demon God level.

Li Yue isn't in a hurry now that he's only in Mondstadt and there's still some time before the Inazuma storyline begins.

So Li Yue simply started a live stream while strolling around Mondstadt and chatting with her group members.

[Black-stockinged plus-size woman: Mondstadt's main architectural style gives me a medieval European feel, and the scenery is also quite beautiful.]

[Silly Guy: As a country known for its freedom, Mondstadt is generally a very good place to visit, especially if you have the money. You'll have a very comfortable trip there, as the scenery is quite beautiful.]

[A plump woman in black stockings: What kind of talk is that? If you have money, you can travel anywhere without feeling uncomfortable.]

[Silly and Amusing Person: That's right, I'm pretty rich now, so traveling is especially comfortable for me.]

[A plump woman in black stockings: Tsk, that sounds really unpleasant...]

[Silly Guy: By the way, how's things going on your end, Shiyu-senpai?]

[Black stockings, black woman: Ha~~ No progress at all!]

While replying to Li Yue in the chat group, Kasumigaoka looked out the classroom window.

[Black Stockings Fat Woman: Ever since I agreed to write a script for Aki Tomoya, he's been taking his childhood friend and girlfriend around every day under the guise of creating a game, collecting so-called creative materials. All we've got is a bunch of his own inner thoughts, and so far, we haven't even produced a basic proposal. So, since I'm not running around with them, I'm really free now~]

[Black-stockinged chubby woman: But thanks to Aki Tomoya not having produced anything yet, I've had some free time, so I can watch your live stream, Li Yuejun, while focusing on my writing. The latest volume of my novel is almost finished.]

[Silly Guy: You're really living a leisurely life... Where's your godfather?]

[The guy with the super-gel hair: Lucia Kuchiki has gone to the mortal world.]
